Utah is also home to several Native American tribes including the Paiute, Goshute, Shoshone and Navajo tribes dating back thousands of years.
It’s also home to the world’s largest concentration of natural scenic wonders. this is a gorgeous state with so much to see and do. We were lucky to have visited Canyonlands National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, Zion National Park, Arches National Park, Dead Horse Point State Park, Moab, Salt Lake City, The Great Salt Lake, Butch Cassidy Boyhood Home, Springdale, Natural Bridge, and the Pre Historic Museum in Price. We also visited The Salt Lake temple, the world’s largest Mormon church and home to the famous Tabernacle Choir. We spent two weeks and really would like to take another trip back as we feel like there was still so much more to see.
If given the opportunity Utah is a wonderful destination to consider for a vacation. Bring the family and enjoy this great state.
